Meetings

Belatedly, as we had to dash away after Sunday’s meeting – it was a blessed time as always. Bob led worship. Most people shared scripture, a word, or a testimony. Shirlene gave a short word, powerful as usual. Malcolm and Moira led breaking of bread. Some deep needs were shared, and prayed into. What a difficult world this is for …

“I never wanted to miss church, in case I missed God doing something,” a Christian told me once. I thought back to that after our meeting Sunday morning. The presence of God amongst us was almost tangible, with uninhibited praise and worship, testimony, teaching, words of knowledge and prayer for healing. We observed 2 minutes of silence at 11am, and …

It’s always good to have new faces here, and it was good to welcome Caroline from Spixworth this morning, brought by Frank. What a great morning, with so many contributions, and so many scriptures. Great praise and worship, with Shirlene taking over on tambourine. Meaningful contributions from Billy and Wendy, and earnest prayer for them, for Cliff’s wife Sue, and …

And then there was darkness – around 12 midday, when a power-cut of 6 hours started. And it was such a dull day. However, it was so good to see people who have been sick, now better and joining us on Sunday. Praise and worship led by Bob, Ecclesiastes 3 from Wendy L, communion led by Cliff, and prayer for …

10 extra people! 2 daughters, 2 sons-in-law, 5 grandsons and 1 granddaughter. From the point of view of space, and ventilation, it could be argued that we were blessed to have at least 9 regulars away sick! Thank you to Bob for leading praise and worship, and Wendy for leading communion, assisted by Caleb and Jonathan. Thank you to Barry …

Numbers, of themselves, are not important. However, they are often an indicator, and I feel it is a sign of the grace of God upon LIBERTY that – Around 2 years ago, there were often 6 of us meeting This Sunday, at least 10 people were away because of health issues This Sunday, we still had a roomful of people It was …

What a buzz in the meeting when we really sense the presence of God amongst us. A full room, new faces, the room reverberating with praise, the gifts of the Spirit, testimony, prayer – a wonderful time. Welcome to Gwynneth and Richard, visiting, and to Diane, who has been with us every week for a month or so. We looked …

It is always good to have a new face among us, and we say Welcome to Diane.  This last week saw the first of our series of 4 midweek meetings, and what a wonderful turn-out! Thank you to Malcolm for arranging g, to Malcom and Moira for hosting, and to Shirleen for leading. Our next midweek meeting is this Thursday …

Warfare! There really is a war on! It’s in the spiritual realm, but manifest here on earth. Jesus said he would build his church (Matthew 16:18) and that we are co-labourers with him in that work (1 Corinthians 3:9). If we confess that Jesus is Lord, then we MUST let the Spirit move freely. At Liberty, we humbly seek to …

We were small in number, but prayed for a worship leader (Thank you Lord, and thank you Bob) and we prayed for more people (Thank you Lord, and thank you Connie, Mike, Pauline, Fred, Angie, Rod, Margie, Cliff and Sue) and we prayed for younger people (Thank you Lord, and thank you Frank). And so, when the room filled this …
